Everyone's waiting

I know all the lines to say
The part I´m expected to play
But in the reflection I am worlds away
As I put my costume on
Eyelashes one by one
Been doing this so long I can tie the knot
Behind my back
And everyone´s waiting
But it´s getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
Cos everyone´s waiting
"Just swallow and breathe," she says,
"Remember this ain´t for you it´s for them
And all of those painful lessons you´ve had to learn
You gotta use them now or never"
Cos everyone´s waiting
But it´s getting harder to hear
What my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
When everyone´s waiting
It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
But everyone´s waiting
I hear that answers appear when you just stand still
But make it all, how do you make it all stop
When everyone´s waiting?
Everyone´s waiting.
The part I´m expected to play
But in the reflection I am worlds away
As I put my costume on
Eyelashes one by one
Been doing this so long I can tie the knot

And everyone´s waiting
But it´s getting harder to hear what my heart is saying
Cos everyone´s waiting
"Just swallow and breathe," she says,
"Remember this ain´t for you it´s for them
And all of those painful lessons you´ve had to learn
You gotta use them now or never"
Cos everyone´s waiting
But it´s getting harder to hear
What my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
When everyone´s waiting
It makes it harder to hear what my heart keeps saying
Turn it off, I wanna turn it all off
But everyone´s waiting
I hear that answers appear when you just stand still
But make it all, how do you make it all stop
When everyone´s waiting?
Everyone´s waiting.
